The mrs walked in when the 2nd one happened when I was trying to figure out the problem
She was ready to sell the house
Bf this I never knew this could occur and I’ve messed with the plumbing here a few times

Lol it's unsettling for sure. The WHA usually goes on the end of a run and acts like a reverse snorkel (well, the fancy ones don't allow water in when you dive, anyway) pressure builds up and the things let's it out while maintaining the overall integrity of the system.

Usually caused by shutting off a valve too quickly. Dishwashers, ice makers and other fast acting solenoid valves can create water hammer. If you have a problem with it at home, try closing the valve more slowly. Allows the moving water to decelerate rather than stop suddenly.

Googled water hammer.
This looks familiar.

My company builds retorts ( industrial pressure cookers) and sometimes when there is a leaking steam valve, the whole pipe rack will shake and make you think you need to run out the plant with the horrific sounds coming from the pipes!

Oh yeah those are never fun. Hot, your ears hurt, soaking wet. It sounds like an angry monster

ipeline hydraulics back in the 90s for work. The professor was Dr Wylie retired from U of Michigan who had written the textbook we used.
Dr. Ben Wylie worked with Dr. Mike A. Stoner. They wrote the hydraulic modeling software, originally called Stoner Pipeline Simulator, I use professionally. It's arguably the industry standard for single phase fluid flow hydraulic modeling.

This is what I do for a living. On a domestic scale, you can probably just add some standpipe to the plumbing line if you have the vertical space, you can slow the closing of the valve, or otherwise reduce the acceleration of the fluid. Anyone who hates the sound their ice maker makes when it stops filling is experiencing water hammer. Standpipe is similar to an alternative benefit that water towers serve.
On an an industrial scale, I have seen 8" steel pipe severed in half, pumps, relief valves, and instrumentation destroyed.
I can calculate the volume you'd need to eliminate or make it tolerable for you if you want.
